अगस्त्य उवाच । जीर्णं तोयं मया देवास्तथैवामेध्यतां गतम् । उत्पत्स्यति रघूणां हि कुले नृपतिसत्तमः
agastya uvāca | jīrṇaṃ toyaṃ mayā devāstathaivāmedhyatāṃ gatam | utpatsyati raghūṇāṃ hi kule nṛpatisattamaḥ
Agastya nói: "Hỡi các vị thần, nước đã bị ta uống và tiêu hóa, nên nó đã trở nên không tinh khiết. Nhưng trong dòng dõi Raghu sẽ xuất hiện một vị vua kiệt xuất."
Agastya
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: Agastya, composed and authoritative, explains that the ocean-water has been consumed and cannot be returned; he utters a prophecy about a future king in Raghu’s line.
Dharma includes discernment about purity and proper restoration; solutions arise through divinely-timed righteous rulers.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where the ocean’s fate is linked to a future sacred intervention (Gaṅgā’s descent).
No direct rite; the verse discusses ritual-ethical purity (amedhya) as a reason the water is not returned.
